Did you ever feel so lonesome, 6» | isgusted and so blue that you wished | you had a yellow dog to tell your troubles to—just a scrawny little fellow; one without a pedigree, who would wag his crooked tail and give you mongrel sympathy? I have had such spells, dear reader; yes, indeed, I've seen the day when a tiny mutt, the kind one finds #o hard to give away, would have brightened up my sky for me and driven off the fog, for there's nothing like the friendship of @ worthless yellow dog. There's a true-Dlue heart that's beating in Httle yellow breast, From his eyes a love comes gleaming that will stand the hardest test. He implores you with hie actions for a chance to be your chum. For a gentle word he thanks you in a manner plain but dumb. Take me somewhere west of Kansas where there are no canine kings, where the value of a dog de- pends upon the love he brings. Let @ mutt, with tailpiece wagging, come to meet me on @ jog. Say, there's nothing like the friendship of a worthieas yellow dog. SOL SPEAKS RIGHT UP. AW GOSH BLANCHE, I'm “TIRED!
